A PLACE FOR HERITAGE CELEBRATION
CULTURAL HERITAGE CENTER IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK
ARCH 609 | Spring 2020 | Kapila Silva Partner project with Megan Strayer
Celebrating the cultural heritage of Copenhagen, Denmark encompasses a sense of place with features ranging from a historic Viking fishing village, to iconic midcentury modern design, to cutting edge green energy technology. The cultural heritage center combines the functions of a tourist information center, museum on place history, and administrative office that manages the historic preservation activities throughout the city. Highlighting traditional materials in a new way through mass timber and a wood louver facade system to provide transparency to the public, this building serves as a gathering space and gateway to the city to welcome and educate both visitors and residents. The Copenhagen Cultural Heritage Center embodies the dynamic history of the city and celebrates adaptable and sustainable ideals for the future.

* CONCEPT AND PROCESS DIAGRAMS
SPIRAL PATH
VIEWS FROM SITE
Historic civic and religious buildings pierce the city’s skyline with spires accessed via spiral staircases and ramps. The upward spiral motion mimics this while fitting the urban context.
Prominent local landmarks are visible from the site at varying elevations. Identifying the contextual relationship of views determines outward-facing programming.
EXTRUDE FORM
CONCENTRATE VIEWS
Opening access to the site by inverting the common courtyard typology encourages public circulation and allows exterior space on the site to be utilized by all.
Isolating major viewpoints at corners avoids competition with programming and adjacent buildings. Revealing views through movement reinforces the dynamic experience.
EXTEND PATHWAYS Circulation is moved to the exterior edges, projecting around the main formal and programming elements, revealing interior movement on a dynamic facade.
FUNNEL TO CENTER The site creates a natural funnel towards the heart of the city. Landscaping is used to emphasize this relationship and encourage people to interact with the site

WORK-FROM-ANYWHERE: IMPACT COLLABORATIVE
ARCH 811 | Fall 2020 | Lauren Brown Individual Microproject based on Collaborative Research
The Impact Collaborative is a research-based collaborative studio analyzing the impact of COVID-19 on central business districts. Using New York City, Chicago, and Kansas City as case studies for studying the effects of of social distancing on the urban core. The research phase defined a need for micro-scale design interventions to allow cities to more effectively adapt to the new normal. The intention of this intervention, ”Work-From-Anywhere”, is to create safe, comfortable, and engaging outdoor structures that allow for professional, creative, academic, and informal work to be completed outdoors. Taking advantage of Open Streets initiatives, rooftop culture, and existing public spaces allows implemention of these furniture modules in a variety of urban conditions. Able to be produced and implemented fairly quickly in multiple conditions and locations. Integration with public wifi hotspots throughout the cities, as well as a small degree of power generation are key to “plugging in” virtually from these spaces. Natural ventilation and fresh air, as well as outside views are proven to increase productivity. Meetings outside could allow some degree of in-person interaction and collaboration without confronting the challenges of high rise office buildings, including navigating verticual circulation.

New cleaning and safety measures were implemented to keep people from contracting or spreading COVID-19. Urban centers had to adapt to include testing sites and more room for social distancing. Urban centers needed essential jobs to continue providing basic needs like food and healthcare to residents. Some industries experienced reduced hours, furloughing, or even unemployment in businesses that could not remain open.
* EMERGING THEMES
With higher unemployment rates, housing evictions became an issue in urban centers. Families face challenges with food security, which increased the importance of locally grown food and urban farming. Non-essential jobs required people to work remotely, changing their social interactions and lifestyles. A sense of community was lost with stay-at-home orders because people could no longer gather in groups. COVID-19 negatively impacted the infrastructure and city life of urban centers. The need for community has sparked creative solutions to restore the city life by reimagining public outdoor spaces.

Through collective brainstorming and intensive investigation on the spatial, social, economic, and policy impacts of COVID-19 on dense urban centers, we have been able to better define physical components, demographic groups, and interactions that have been changed by necessary responses to the pandemic. These topics (left) encompass a wide variety of circumstances throughout all three case study cities that need to be considered by architects and allied industries. Focus is narrowed to four specific concepts that have been significantly altered by the pandemic and apply to the studio mission:

AN INTERVENTION WITHOUT PLACE
With offices closed and the majority of the workforce remaining in the work from home environment, additional infrastructure is needed. Many employees working from home cite the monotony of their home office environment, distractions within the home, and an increased need for safe collaboration space. New York city is notorious for small apartments, and cohabitating with roommates or other family members. As children complete their schoolwork online from home this year, the need for functional outdoor working spaces increases. By combining research from the open streets and working remotely theme intersections, the goal is to utilize existing public space as an extention of the workplace and home office.

CLASSROOM RENOVATIONS IN NUNEMAKER CENTER
ARCH 509 | Spring 2019 | Chad Kraus Dirt Works Studio Design-Build
The 2018 - 2019 Dirt Works Studio has undertaken the complete redesign and renovation of two seminar classrooms (1,000 sq ft) in Nunemaker Center, the building belonging to the University Honors Program at the University of Kansas. This project is important to me personally, as a member of the honors program, and I am excited to offer my unique perspective and see it through to completion. The goals of this project were to design a space that enhances learning through the use of natural elements, to create an atmosphere that allows others to feel welcome outside of class through lighting and materials, and to allow for adaptive and fluid use of the spaces. The final design features an additional corner window to allow further penetration of light, a maple wrapper system including walls and ceiling, angled bump outs to support technology needs, and floorto-ceiling back-painted glass whiteboards with plug molding. Throughout the process, I have demonstrated an ability to dive deep and adapt on short notice. I took on the role of a Studio Coordinator and have learned a lot about project and personnel management, including creating master schedules and coordinating construction tasks and elements. I have demonstrated my abilitity to act as both a leader and member of a larger team in multiple capacities. The work in this section belong to the Dirt Works Studio and graphics have been drawn by the communications team.

A PLACE FOR COMMUNITY LEARNING
OLATHE PARK LIBRARY
ARCH 209 | Spring 2018 | Todd Achelpohl Individual Project
The city of Olathe Kansas is currently undergoing a renovation of its downtown corridor, including a series of parks and many civic buildings such as a courthouse and detention center; the need for a welcoming space to gather and learn is evident. This project is designed to combine the functions of a library, meeting and event center, gallery exhibition space, cafe, and offices for the library system in Johnson County. These spaces are organized around a central courtyard that interacts with the park across the street, drawing visitors in to a more sheltered environment and away from more direct exposure to these somewhat intimidating civic functions. The library faces north to Santa Fe Avenue, the main thoroughfare through the city. An east/ west public access cuts through the building, separating spatial functions and helping to organize the circulation around the central courtyard. This also provides easy access from the parking to lot to other public functions. but The reading room is a brightly lit atrium with views to the courtyard. From here, a grand staircase leads up to additional levels distinguished by their function and set back from the facade. The library is very translucent in order to feel more accessible to the community, but shaded by a deep overhang and rectangular collonades on the east and west facades.

A PLACE FOR CONTEMPLATION
A WOODEN CHAPEL FOR WEST CAMPUS
ARCH 208 | Fall 2017 | Kent Spreckelmeyer Individual Project
A nondenominational chapel is often a focal point for a university and can accommodate a wide range of ceremonies and rituals. Pioneer Cemetary is located on West Campus at the University of Kansas and would be the ideal site for such a building. This location has historical significance, and marks the expansion and growth of the university beyond Iowa Street. With that being said, it is important to protect the ceremonial space from this busy road, while serving as a landmark symbol from the southern, inclined approach. The concept for this structure evolved from three sweeping lines converging at a point, to represent the unification of these campuses. The entry and exit sequences are separated by grade and the support spaces are tucked off to the side as the site rises up to meet the wooden beams. The form is developed by extending existing structural elements through to the exterior, forming an exaggerated and sculptural spine. This alllows light to enter from above and forms a clear visual axis for ceremonies.

AN OBJECT FOR SITTING
PAKESTOL
DIS Furniture Design Studio | Summer 2018 | Ehrling Christoffersen Individual Project
This chair is meant to be a relaxed chair that is easy to pack and transport, ideal for a student who moves frequently. Inspired by the eight hour commute between my hometown and my university, a goal for this design was to fit nicely with my boxes in the back of my dad’s truck. By utilizing brass hinges and modified dowel joints, the pakestol (Danish for “packable chair”) is able to separate into two pieces and collapse almost entirely flat, yet takes only seconds to put together. This chair is inspired by the strength of materials and the simple lines of Danish design. I wanted its form to be simple and understandable. The legs are shaped by hand and meet the “x” support with a double domino joint. The seat is made of 5 milimeter thick wool felt, and reveals the wood-onwood connections to the frame. Beneath the felt, a dense canvas underlayment serves as the joints between the plywood peices making up the seat, back, and top of the chair. The location of the main hinge, in alignment with the meeting of the seat and back, allows the back of the chair to be narrower than the front. The proportions are based off of many different lounge chairs from the study tour to Sweden and Finland.

A PLACE WITH HISTORY
APHRODISIAS ARCHEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION
Geyre, Turkey | Summer 2019 Drawings Property of New York University
The city of Aphrodisias was founded in the 2nd century BC and is known for its Sanctuary to the cult idol Aphrodite and marble sculptures, thanks to the nearby quarries of high quality marble. Near the modern city of Geyre in the Caria region of Turkey, this UNESCO world heritage site has been continuously excavated since the 1960s. During the 2019 season, I worked alongside professors, researchers, specialists, and students from NYU, Oxford, UPenn, Turkey, Austria, Greece, and Canada to continue this historical documentation of the ancient site. Our main focus was to reach substantial completion of the excavation and documentation of the Tetrapylon Street, which runs from the north end of the urban core to the South Agora and Place of Palms and is split into the North Avenue and South Avenue trenches. This section of the site is slated to be opened to tourists in the next couple of years, making it one of the best preserved and accessible walkways from the time. Living within the excavation compound on the UNESCO World Heritage site allowed me to learn skills including crosscultural and interdisciplinary collaboration, surveying, and measured drawing. All drawings were completed by hand to scale, and digitized on site. The originals are located at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, and the digitized versions are expected to be published along with research and finds from the season in 2020.

DOCUMENTING PLACE
SELECTED PHOTOGRAPHY
I have developed an interest in photography as a way to capture and document experiential qualities of place. I find myself drawn to images that are rich with texture and materiality and reveal interesting layers of space, as well as dynamic natural landscapes. Photos serve as a tool for reflecting on the built environment in a way that is not only honest and raw, but also emotive and memorable. I love to travel and explore, and take every opportunity to see new places wherever I may be. Many of the following images contain a special memory, an interesting contextual relationship, or a new understanding. Movement, detailing, and form revealed through the lens capture my perspective of the human experience.
